Freestyle - much like folkstyle (high school wrestling), allows point scoring for 'flashing' your opponents shoulders towards the mat (no need for a three second shoulders-on-mat, just need to momentarily roll your opponent over in a scramble). Tends to be a faster, more fluid style. Example: Kurt Angle

Greco-Roman - Doesn't allow any leg work to speak of, mostly upper-body in it's focus. Lots of emphasis on the clinch. Tends to involve more brute strength than freestyle. Example: Randy Coutoure

"Go cry about it Vargas. Aren't you late for your shift at McDonald's?"

"I had once talked to Billy Conn, the boxer, about professionals versus amateurs - specifically street fighters. One had always heard rumors of champions being taken out by back-alley fighters. Conn was scornful. "Aw, it's like hitting a girl," he said. "They're nothing."

TO clarify, out of the box, I think most of wrestling is bad for a mma enviroment. Adapted, like many other styles, it can be very good.

And that's when I figured out that tears couldn't make somebody who was dead alive again. There's another thing to learn about tears, they can't make somebody who doesn't love you any more love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me, the devil makes more sense than God does. I can at least see why people would want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for the bad stuff they do. Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war game with them. And they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try to do something good, it still turns out bad.

What about catch? Anyone familiar enough with it's stand-up game to give a description, or a tactical comparison with another grappling art?
